Yeh if your in the Bluey you will be in associate class.

It looks like the SAU guys are about half the entries so far.

If people are keen to start entering these sorts of events, or just love their motorsport, then its a great idea to come down and look at whats going on. The WRX Club are always grateful for the support our members give with officials. Its a great vantage point by teh track watching the quick guys fly up into/out of corners. Anyone that has flagged can tell you its pretty cool place to watch the action.

Keeping my salesmans hat on for a second, you can actually use these events to get the experience to become a CAMS official which will allow you to official at State and National meets. Fancy being trackside at a V8 round? Im going to do it so i can black flag that shiela Rick Kelly :)

How can Sandown scare you after PI? Sandown is great fun. Big ripple strips to hammer over. A few big stops to wrestle the car under brakes for...its great fun in any car. (Unlike PI :) )

The walls that are close to the track.... At least at PI the walls a further away even if your going that fast that the run off isn't enough, it still makes you feel a bit better :)

I'm out. can't take another beating from a truck driver.

hahahah took me a few seconds to figure that one out - whats the real reason? Single spinner?

Winton may be the spiritual home for Team Wang, but Sandown is the home of BTR :)

Whats BTR?

That's some funny shit!!!!

Now who else can I chase around the track??? Maybe Voss in the purple MPC car...

I don't think I'll be doing any PB's, my best time was getting towed around by another faster guy. :)

I'm faxed and ready to GO!!!!!

Aaron, you still coming for a look???

Oops. Just fried my data logger :D

Installing some new firmware for it and the laptop died. Now when i plug it in the laptop doesnt recognise that a device has been connected. When i un plug the laptop and start the car the onoly thing the logger does is flah through the gear indication LEDS :)

Shit...time to ship it back to Italy for it to be re-flashed :) Shit.

At this point in time there will be Driver Training run in conjunction with the usual sprints, so post up if you are interested in doing Driver Training on the day.

I'm interested in doing the driver training seeing as I have never raced at Sandown before, how many driver training sessions are run during the day on average?

Do any of the SAU guys instruct or is it WRX club people only?

Also with regards to the db limit, do GT-R's with your usual large exhaust systems frequently go over this limit?

Thanks, sorry for the questions but I'm a bit of a circuit newbie...

If you do Driver Training then you normally get 3-4 sessions. (much like everyone else) The instructors can be both SAU or WRX. Normally we try to use SAU instructors for the SAU guys. Normally the like of Aaron34, Scotsman, Belsil80, Snowman and myself can do the SAU guys. I dont think Jag33 normally does it but like a few others have the experience and maturity to walk you around the track.

If you are happy enough, and the Instructor is happy, the Clerk of Course may allow you to run in a sprint but thats a case by case basis.

Not many cars have had trouble with noise at Sandown. Though there was an alarming number of cars having troubles with PI. So if your car is very loud then it may pay to try and address it before the day. I was hoping to but im running out of time....so if you are loud just be prepard to be warned and maybe short shift the rest of the day.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
